Had a row with my mother on Wednesday over a coffee table. Yes, a coffee table. It's quite comical actually.
I had my carpets cleaned in the day so all my furniture was stuffed in the kitchen. This is where it all started:
My mother came down in the afternoon and said "Do you want me to help you move the coffee table back into the living room?" so I said "no i'm not moving the coffee table". She wanted to do something to help though so I told her she could pick up the dead fly off the windowsill (it was massive almost the size of a small dog, lol, and I hate insects). So she walks over to the fly and picks it up in a cloth and puts it in my bin. This is what happened next:
Mam: Are you going to move the coffee table?
Me: No, i said i'm not moving it.
Mam: But where are you going to put it?
Me: I don't know, i will keep it here
Mam: what, forever?
Me: just leave it mam i'm not moving the coffee table
Mam: oooh your in a bad mood
Me: No im just tired and you keep asking about the coffee table i told you twice i'm not moving it yet. The carpets got to dry.
Mam: I'm only asking because I would have helped you to move it.
Me: Will you stop going on about the coffee table I dont know why your so concerned. It's my furniture and i'll put it where I want.
Mam: I'm not having you talking to me like a child i'm going.
Me: Fine
Mam: Fine

Then she tried to storm out but this was impossible as I had made her remove her shoes and socks before she came in. Instead of stomping her feet sunk into my newly cleaned carpet. Ha!

Then I walked towards the bin and spotted something on the floor. On closer inspection I realised it was that stupid fly my mother was supposed to put in the bin earlier. AAAh! I'm sure she fished it out of the bin before she stormed out (or tried to).
ten minutes later i'm in the kitchen still trying to summon up the courage to pick up dead fly. the phone rings, it's my mother, she was coming back to see me.
In she walks 5 mins later, looks straight at me and says: "do you want me to move your coffee table?" and we both burst out laughing.
Then I made her pick up the dead fly.
Mothers hey? who'd have them? lol
